Joe Rogan on People Who Choose to Not Workout, "It's Silly"

It's terrible. It's a bony lump bag. Well, it's really terrible as well. I mean, I'm not saying you have to be a bodybuilder. Oh, but you have to fuck with it. It's just, it's, you should keep your body moving away. It's just a laziness thing. It's a discipline thing. And like this idea that some sort of nobility and humility and not caring about your body. It's silly. You only get one. You get one. It doesn't make you dumber if you work out. Stop. I know that jocks were assholes and people bullied you. I get it. Yeah. But God damn it. Take care of your fucking meat vehicle. Just go take care of it. Take care of the meat skeleton. And people, oh yeah, you're vain. That's why you work out. Yes. Sure. That too. I like looking good. I like it. It's better to me than not looking good. I'm sorry. I'm willing to put in the time. But you know what the irony is? So because of the hype of, because of the growth of MMA. Cheers. Cheers, my brother. Because of the growth of MMA, CrossFit, all of these new worlds that have kind of emerged socially now that are so much bigger than they were years ago, nerds that I grew up in high school are into working out. Yeah. That's the irony. That's a big thing with Chiu-Jitsu. That's what I'm saying. It's like the biggest, like insecure people, now they found a home in something that's disciplined. It's good. It feels good to move your body. It feels good. It feels good to do things, whether it's taking a dance class, I'm not into that, but taking karate. I'm not into that shit. I like yoga. I like running. I like doing jiu-jitsu obviously. I like all kinds of martial arts. But I'm just like moving my body, man. I like running up hills. Move your body. Get it going. You'll feel better afterwards. I know you don't want to do it. I never, I fucking hardly ever want to do it. I maybe want to actually do it five out of 10 times. Maybe less. But I do it. I just do it. It's like to not want to do it. I get it. Shut up. I just start talking to myself. I go, come on pussy. What are you talking about? If I was you outside of you, knowing what I know, if I could read my mind, I'd be like, come on bitch. You're just being lazy. Put your fucking shoes on. Get a sweat going and you're going to feel pumped. Come on, man. You've done this a million times. And then invariably, I'll be in the middle of the workout. I'm sweating. I'm like, fuck yeah. And then I get into it. It's like you got to push past that creepy resistance that Steven Pressfield wrote about in the war of art. It applies not just to art, not just to writing. It applies to cleaning your room. It applies to saying you're sorry to a friend. It applies to taking care of a debt. All those things. You just keep putting all of it. It's this weird thing that you have. When you see a problem, you got to fix it. When you see a thing you have to do, go do it. When you know something, clean your fucking room. That's what Jordan Peterson always says. Clean your room. Clean your room. And that really is what he means. Get your shit in order. Yeah. Well, dude, I think it's also a personality trait though too, to be fair. Like I'm someone that has to get it done. You know what someone goes, you don't have to do it all at once. I'm the opposite. I'm like, yeah, you do. Yeah, you fucking do. Like she wants new blinds at the house. What if we just do the living room for now? I was like, no, no, no. Just do it. Get the whole fucking thing done. What's the difference? That's a manly thing to say too. Get it fucking done. What can we just have this window? No. This window, this will be my shade spot. A man goes, it's America. Do the whole fucking thing. Back the truck up. All around with the fucking shades. Give me some new fucking blinds. I want trees around this house. I want to walk around my cop-out. You could buy an old tree. You know that? You could buy like, I want to tree my yard. It's 500 years old. The fine one. That's dope though. That's cool to be like, place it here. I got a fucking, I have a 150 plus old oak tree in my backyard.
